The use of deformable mirrors to correct unwanted optical aberrations in real time is helping applications ranging from astronomy to biophotonics and data storage, reports Neil Savage. Adaptive ...

Traditional optical systems rely on bulky glass lenses, which have limitations like chromatic aberrations, low efficiency at ...

Reflective optics are optical systems that utilize mirrors to reflect and focus light. They involve using mirrors—smooth, ...

Modern imaging systems, such as those used in smartphones, virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR) devices, are ...

2024.240085 , discusses how cascaded metasurfaces enable adaptive aberration corrections for focus scanning. Optical researchers have long dreamed of the perfect control over the focus of light ...

The second part is devoted to the basic theory of geometrical optics and the study of optical aberrations inherent in imaging systems, including large-scale telescopes and high-resolution projection ...

This is because optical resolution is not sufficient: contrast is also needed. For simplicity, in the following explanation I will refer only to the most important lens aberration, the spherical ...

The achromatic doublet lens is used to minimize or eliminate chromatic aberration. Its achromatic design also helps to minimize spherical aberration. Compared with a single lens, an achromatic doublet ...
